November 20, 20232 yr I definitely expect us to be more focused tonight and play better. We will see if we were overlooking Louisville ahead to this game or if we’re just an average team without disu.
November 20, 20232 yr 3 of the next 4 will be good tests. Wyoming is only #178 in Kenpom but they're 4-1 and they have some players. That is a trap game on Sunday. Wyoming can play.
November 20, 20232 yr This could be a “good loss” because we’re getting hammered in the media for our “bad win” yesterday. While I wanted us to blow out Louisville, I just ended up wanting to see takeaways from that game.

While I wanted us to blow out Louisville, I just ended up wanting to see takeaways from that game. The big thing was just playing UCONN because we needed a good opponent. I don't think Indiana is particularly good. They've already struggled with 3 mid-majors and were blown out by UCONN yesterday. They look nothing like a NCAA tournament team.
November 20, 20232 yr Yesterday (and really only the 2nd half) was first I've seen of this team. Obviously incredibly cold shooting and that's just basketball but I certainly didn't see the defensive intensity we were accustomed to last year (until that last possession). I never put much weight on first 8-10 games or so of a new season, particularly for a team with a bunch of new faces, but that's what I would like to see more of tonight regardless of outcome.

November 20, 20232 yr We scored 81 points on 2-15 shooting from BTA. The offense is fine. The defense will be a work in progress all year until the players learn the system. Horton and Abmas have to close out under control to not allow the blow byes to the paint. Louisville played out of control and was rewarded more than should have been, the also got lucky because they were throwing a lot of bad passes that we didn't get our hands on.

I mean, what's the other option with MNF? ESPN wasn't going to put it up against Maui Invitational this afternoon, which is on ESPN2.
November 20, 20232 yr I've seen and heard some comments that our defensive ceiling could be lower than last year because we have smaller guards. Need more data, but I can see that. It sure looked like Abmas got bullied yesterday. He's probably a downgrade from Carr defensively. Horton has good size, but is not going to be the defender that Rice was. Haven't seen enough of Weaver and Johnson, but it won't be too hard to equal Morris who was pretty bad. On the other hand, we look stronger inside with Onyema, Shedrick, and eventually Disu. Onyema can be a beast in there. I'm worried about Shedrick's shoulder. We're 4 games in and he's already hit the floor hard on it like 3 times. Edited November 20, 20232 yr by ClubWhatever
November 20, 20232 yr No question Abmas is a downgrade from Carr defensively, and Rice was no defensive slouch.
November 20, 20232 yr Louisville back to being a terrible shooting team in the 1st half against Indiana. 62% from the FT line and 27% from the 3 point line. They've bricked some wide open 3s too.
November 20, 20232 yr Hope our guys play well tonight and really liked how they didn’t quit yesterday. Tonight should be a good game and looking forward to Disu’s returning when he’s well.
November 20, 20232 yr Anybody have a streaming link? I’m in Mexico and YouTubeTV + VPN isn’t working.

Indiana went to a zone late and completely slowed down Louisville's penetration.

November 21, 20232 yr With no Shedrick, we should just get out and run. Try and out score them with our guards and an athletic Onyema.
November 21, 20232 yr Author wait, we’re no.15? lol. if abmas doesn’t drain that one incredibly difficult shot then we’d have lost to louisville and we wouldn’t even be getting votes. he made it, so we’re top 15. okie dokie.
November 21, 20232 yr Damn Texas is the most injured university over all sports than anyone else in the country it seems.

November 21, 20232 yr We’re gonna have to hit 10+ threes to even have a chance. If not we will lose by 20+.

November 21, 20232 yr Blowout city, this will be imo. UConn is really fucking good and this is a home game for them. Edited November 21, 20232 yr by The Ace of Aces
